Book Description
The Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management's (EM) mission is the safe cleanup of sites associated with the government-led development of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. While many of these legacy sites have completed cleanup, the largest and most complex sites have not been fully remediated. The cleanup of these sites is proceeding under legally enforceable agreements with timelines for hundreds of milestones. EM is reviewing alternative approaches to increase effectiveness and improve cost efficiencies of its cleanup activities, especially for sites that will have residual contamination when active cleanup is complete. This report is the summary of two workshops convened in October 2013 and January 2014 on best practices for risk-informed remedy selection, closure, and post-closure control of radioactive and chemically contaminated sites that present significant difficulty for remediation to unrestricted release. The workshop series aimed to explore best practices that promote effective, risk-informed decision making and future opportunities to improve remediation approaches and practices.In the Workshop #1 section of Best Practices for Risk-Informed Decision Making Regarding Contaminated Sites, the report examines holistic approaches for remediating sites with multiple contaminant sources and post-closure uses, and approaches for incorporating a sustainability framework into decision making regarding site remediation, closure, and post-closure control. In Workshop #2, the report focuses on post-closure controls, assessment of long-term performance of site remedies, and best practices for risk-based remediation decisions.

Book Description
In October 1989, the Council initiated a plan of action to deal with high-risk contaminated sites by establishing the National Contaminated Sites Remediation Program. This report presents the results from the first year, including bilateral agreements established; a description of 10 sites at which remediation or technology demonstration activities have been initiated; the development of a national site classification system and national environmental quality criteria; funding; and future activities.

Book Description
This book presents a comprehensive, up-to-date review of technologies for cleaning up contaminants in groundwater and soil. It provides a special focus on three classes of contaminants that have proven very difficult to treat once released to the subsurface: metals, radionuclides, and dense nonaqueous-phase liquids such as chlorinated solvents. Groundwater and Soil Cleanup was commissioned by the Department of Energy (DOE) as part of its program to clean up contamination in the nuclear weapons production complex. In addition to a review of remediation technologies, the book describes new trends in regulation of contaminated sites and assesses DOE's program for developing new subsurface cleanup technologies.

Book Description
In 1989 the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment initiated the 5 year Program with the goal of dealing with properties across the country that have been polluted with hazardous materials originating from industrial or commercial activities. The NCSRP's concern is to ensure that appropriate cleanup of the site occurs where contamination is a threat to human health or environmental quality. This report describes bilateral agreements, the orphan sites remediation program, development and demonstration of site remediation technology (DESRT) projects, contaminated site liability, private-sector activities, Crown land cleanup, training, and specific remediation projects in each province.
